Pharrell Williams Brings Out His Inner Tupac Shakur With New Bathtub Photoshoot

Pharrell Williams is one of the very few celebrities who have been aging with grace. The 48-year old barely looks a day over 30. The artist still carries the same look he had when he broke through as the other half of the production duo alongside Chad Hugo which was The Neptunes.

Williams has his own bodycare brand Humanrace, which is a great news for those seeking his secrets for seeming immortal. The artist took to Instagram in order to promote his new line of products.

The Daft Punk collaborator worked with visual artist Harley Weir to create an impactful promotion for his brand. The picture included him being immersed in a bathtub, keeping his manhood concealed. Pharrel told Digital Daze:

I spend every morning taking a bath, it’s a part of my morning ritual and it’s where I get a lot of my inspiration and ideas from. It was a natural decision to show the body bars in the bath with me in these images.

Pharrel’s campaign was directed towards the promotion of his brand. However, many fans drew parallels between 2Pac‘s 1996 photoshoot with David LaChapelle. 2Pac’s “Becoming Clean” photoshoot came after his release from prison. 2Pac was featured lying empty in the bathtub, with gold jewelry covering his crotch.
